6 Road and rail modes are mainly dealing with intra-regional flows, given that two of the three main interregional flows (Asia - North America and Europe - North America) are not possible by land-based routes, so maritime transport dominates.

18 Factors influencing recent trends in international rail freight transport Infrastructure: Examples where gauge differences exist at international borders include: Southern Brazil is metric gauge whereas Uruguay and Argentina have standard gauge networks; only the link to Bolivia is compatible with Brazil (ECLAC, 2003). France has standard gauge track, but traditional routes in Spain and Portugal have different gauges, 1,672mm in Spain and 1,664mm in Portugal; new high speed lines on the Iberian peninsula are being constructed to the standard gauge (European Commission, 2005), but freight will have to continue using the traditional routes where the difference in gauge will persist for the foreseeable future In Asia, at least 5 different track gauges exist, ranging from metric in much of South East Asia up to 1,676mm in the Indian sub-continent; China has generally adopted standard gauge track, while Russia has a broader 1,520mm gauge (see Figure 7).

24 Policy initiatives and objectives Improving road and rail infrastructure to reduce bottlenecks and fill missing links Harmonising road and rail networks internationally Reducing time spent obtaining customs clearance and crossing borders, especially for rail freight Reducing crime against drivers and loads in landbased transport safety Reducing the level of corruption at border points

27 Some implications derived from these observations and findings For international road and rail, it is not simply a question of transit time and reliability, it is also a question of cost. Many future developments are difficult to predict with accuracy and certainty. However.. Within the next 15 years, there seems to be limited opportunity to dramatically increase the speed of ships or reduce the costs of air freight. Increased concern about CO 2 emissions could lead to changes in the view of the role of air freight within the supply chain.
28 Implications for decision-making (2) There may be calls for sea freight transport to operate at slower speeds (thereby lengthening transit times) in order to save fuel. Therefore, there is potential for rail, for shorter transit times and possibly reduced costs. However: investments and agreements would be needed Road freight times may not have the scope to be reduced to the same extent as rail freight, but there are still many opportunities to improve road operations and thereby improve both the economic and environmental performance of road freight transport over long distances.
29 Implications (3) International road and rail freight transport is extremely diverse. Developments that have implications for short distance road freight are very different from those that affect long distance rail. There are many opportunities to improve the efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of both international road and rail freight transport.
30 Implications (4) Many developments require government intervention in the form of changes in policy and regulation or improvements to infrastructure. This is extremely complex and heavy when it concerns international developments. Major logistics companies are playing a growing role in international freight transport. Single companies are now able to provide truly integrated services in a way that was not possible a few years ago. There is also an increased business focus on applying the supply chain approach.
